Thank you for your question. It is common to have some swelling and bruising after fillers for lip augmentation which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can apply cold compresses to the treated area(s) to help reduce swelling and bruising.

If you have any other concerns please contact your injector. Best of Luck!
